Willow Haven’s content. 

Okay, that’s a lie, but she has tried her damndest. Trouble is, it never sticks. Second oldest in a family her town was named after, she’s always felt the pressure. From the townspeople, from her sisters, but most of all from her daddy—the original Good Old Boy and Havenbrook’s reigning mayor. The only time she didn’t feel that stress had been those blissful months spent in the arms of the resident bad boy. The same one who broke her heart beyond repair when he left without a word.

Life hasn’t come easy for Finn Thomas. 

He’s had to claw and fight for everything he’s ever had—and truth be told, it hasn’t been much. He spent the first eighteen years of his life living so far from the wrong side of the tracks, he couldn’t even see them through his trailer window. The only thing that ever came easy for him and made his sorry ass happy was the one girl he loved with all his heart. And the one thing he had no choice but to leave behind.

When an opportunity arises to return to his tiny, southern hometown and open the first bar in a formerly dry county, he jumps at the chance. That won’t win him points with the mayor, who’s hell bent on making Finn’s life a nightmare for sullying his namesake. Too bad for Mayor Haven, Finn’s got his sights set on more than just the town, and this time he won’t be scared off quite so easily.

SOMETHING SO UNSCRIPTED BY NATASHA MADISON-COVER REVEAL


Title: Something So Unscripted
Author: Natasha Madison
Genre: Sports Romance
Release Date: April 2, 2018 
Cover Design: Melissa Gill at MGBookCovers



Zack

Finding my teammate in bed with my wife made the decision I had been fighting with for years easier.

It’s time to move on. 

A fresh start and a new NHL team in a big city. Most importantly, it’s my son Jack’s best shot. 

It would be both of our best shots.

Denise

After a bad childhood, I made sure I would succeed, so I lived for my job.

The problem is I die a little with each patient I lose. It’s part of my career at Hudson Children’s Oncology Hospital, but it doesn’t make the sting of loss any easier.

Seeking anything other than a life saved isn’t on my agenda until a NHL player walks into my hospital with his son.

We’re officially off script the moment we meet.

If this love is anything, it’s unscripted.








When her nose isn't buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she's in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It's a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn't listen to her...

FROM BEST FRIEND TO DADDY BY JULES BENNETT - ARC REVIEW

From “just one night”

...to bonded for life

Kate McCoy calculates everything. She has every detail in her life organized to perfection—until the fateful night she steps into Gray Gallagher’s arms. “One time only,” she vows about getting romantic with Gray, her longtime protector and her closest friend. But this time, perfect Kate has miscalculated: the woman who plans everything is unexpectedly expecting. And the heart she has so carefully sheltered starts seeing her cherished friend in a very different light…







Jules Bennett is a favorite of mine.  I love the characters she writes, and the stories she tells feel like they are about real people.  Her writing is strong, and the pacing never seems like it is rushed or that there was no real resolution to the story. 

Even though this blurb talks about them having a baby, I loved that most of the book really was about Kate and Gray.  You get to know them, and how they feel about one another, before either of them have any idea that they are about to be parents.

Baby books, at least for me, are tough when I don't feel there is enough of a connection with the characters and wonder if they would be together if there was not a baby.  I believed Kate and Gray were attracted to one another, and Gray was done fighting his attraction to Kate.  I also thought the fear they had of losing their friendship was realistic and I liked the way it was handled.

I enjoyed this title, a lot, and I look forward to the next title by this author.

I recommend this title.

DOWN WITH LOVE BY KATE MEADER - COVER REVEAL



Sparks fly when the hot-shot divorce lawyer meets the high-powered wedding planner. The only question is, what kind?

If you ever get married, remember my name: Max Henderson. In my line of work, you acquire a certain perspective on supposedly everlasting unions. . . .

1. Pre-nups are your friend.
2. The person you married is not the person you’re divorcing.
3. And I hope you didn’t spend much on the wedding because that was one helluva waste of hard-earned cash, wasn’t it?

But some guys are willing to take a chance. Like my brother, who thinks he’s going to ride off into the sunset with the woman of his dreams in a haze of glitter on unicorns. And the wedding planner—the green-eyed beauty who makes a living convincing suckers to shell out thousands of dollars on centerpieces—is raking it in on this matrimonial monstrosity.

The thing is, Charlie Love is not unlike me. We’re both cogs in the wedding-industrial complex. As the best man, I know her game—and I can play it better than her. But after one scorching, unexpected kiss, I’m thinking I might just want to get played.

I enjoyed this title overall. I liked their first meeting, that there was a chemistry there which they were not able to deny, but did not act on...there is an appeal to the one who got away being that one because they couldn't act on the attraction due to commitments to another person.

I liked Mark, I thought he was an interesting character and I liked who he was as a person.

Stevie was, maybe, a little less likeable for me. I struggled with her a little in places and there were a couple of times where I am not sure I was really convinced a person, and this character, would act in this manner.

For me, for a romance to work when there is a past with the characters, you need to be able to leave the past in the past and focus on the future and the present. If the past is a factor, the other people who may have been a part of that past need to be far removed. For me, Stevie's ex was too present and it pulled me out of the story from time to time, and left me struggling to read it in parts.

Not all of it was an issue, and I really enjoyed the development of the relationship between Mark and Stevie. I liked them as a couple, and I believed in their attraction and their chemistry.

Overall, I did enjoy this title, and I do recommend it.
